Batches of 400 g of cereal bars were produced. The process
was carried out in three stages: weighing of the dry ingredients
(roasted rice bran, rice flakes, corn flakes, banana, and Baru
nut (Dipteryx alata Vog) and cinnamon); heating of the syrup
(glucose syrup and guar gum) to 95 °C; and mixing of the dry
ingredients with the syrup. The dough was then placed in an
acrylic mold which was covered with low-density polyethylene
film, and a rolling pin was used to flatten the dough. The mold
was left to cool for 1 hour, and the mixture was then packed in
low-density and heat-sealed polyethylene bags. The standardized
bars were 10 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 1.50 cm thick.
